hole so small that the point of a needle
| served as rivet. So small was the amount
of point used that its absence could not be
detected by one sewing with the needle
afterwards. He has also built small steam
engine just large enough to run a sewing
machine, and yet a perfect counterpart of a
large engine. The wonder is that he does
this work without tools or material, only
such as he improvises

At Macon Monday night the police were
called on to remove two young men from q
Sixth street brothel, the proprietress saying
that they were noisy. Two of the boys were
locked up and third summoned. Tuesday
morning, before the Recorder, these young
men, who proved to be converts of the Sal
walton Army, stood up and plead for them
selves. The one accused of being boisterous
stated that one of the women came up to
the Salvation Army barracks and persuaded
him to go home with her, as she was afraid
to return alone He did so, and his COM
panions followed, and the three were thus
tempted to enter the place of sin. They
were not drunk, and it was not proven~uhat
they were particularly disorderly, so one
was dismissed and the other two were fined
81 80 apiece.
The daily demand OH the water tower at
Brunswick runs from D, 900 to $4,000 gal
Ions, according to the weather; dry, hot,
sultry, dusty days being the ones requiring
the $4,000 gallons. From the first day the
tank was filed there never has been less
than $4,000 gallons in it at any one time,
and no night does Manager Wynne ever go
TO bed before the tank has 10000 gallons
in it-even full. There were $4,000 gal
Ions in the tank tine night of the Dill
lon block fire, when the fire was all
out, and 10000 in the tank the next morn
ing after the Kaiser block fire. When fire
occurs the manager only allows the tank TO
supply the demand until he can get up
steam, say twenty minutes. He Their cuts
off that supply and applies the pump direct
ON to the mains and thus increases the pres
sure and stops the drain on the reservoir, so
that if his pump should become disabled at
any time he would have tank full to oper-
ate with
Market street, Athens, was the scene Of a
terrible fight between three negro women
Monday. A colored woman from East
Athens came over to the city with war
paint and scalping knife in search of Mary
Wilingham, who she claimed had stolen
her husband and his affections away from
her. The East Atheniess claimed that Mary
had conjured her husband and worked the
rabbit-foot racket on him. They met near
the market house, and after few words
they hitched, and parasols, calico, hair, and
occasionally piece Of hide, could be seen
flying through the air. Adeline Heard came
on the scene while the fight was raging the
fiercest and the hair and hide flying the
thiclcest, and attempted to part them, but to
her surprise they both turned upon her and
soon had her sailing around the corner. The
dresses of both the women were torn off, and
they went in search of policeman in a very
nude condition The Mayor will settle the
trouble.
